Default Laptop CD/DVD Drive problems??

Ive been having problems with my laptops cd/dvd drive for a few weeks now.

I cant even get it to open unless i press eject on My Computer, or press the little button with a pin next to it.

It also doesnt read any of my discs anymore, i put them in and then nothing.

Ive tried everything but just cant seem to get it working again.

Thanks.

1. Go to control panel/ administrative tools/ computer management/ disk management. Check that the cd drive is 'healthy'.

2. Open your computer and make sure the IDE/SATA cable is plugged in properly. The fact that its not reading the disks, but opens makes it sound like the cable has come loose.
